it’s a debate, not a physical (although maybe it should be).

No, she should have social supports, education, a safety net, retirement and security. The exact things people like her piece of shit brother actively try to deny others all the time. Society tried to help this person.

Now on an individual level before I would ever help her, I’d want to know if she ever saw a cent of Kyle’s blood money.

I’m imagining the family from Million Dollar Baby walking in from Disney World going “What do you mean you ain’t got any more of that shootin’ people money??”

ie Tim Scott has already privately been told he aint the VP

these fucking ‘geniuses’ needed to be in a room with this moron to determine he’s a moron?

Not sure if that’s a quirk of your particular laptop but I’ve been using a thunderbolt to dual displayport adapter for years and it works great out of one port to drive a pair of 240hz 1440p displays.

Old man offends gay coworkers with ‘traditional values’ rant.

LLMs are conversation engines (hopefully that’s not controversial).

Imagine if Google was a conversation engine instead of a search engine. You could enter your query and it would essentially describe, in conversation to you, the first search result. It would basically be like searching Google and using the “I’m feeling lucky” button all the time.

Google, even in its best days, would be a horrible search engine by the “I’m feeling lucky” standard, assuming you wanted an accurate result and accurate means “the system understood me and provided real information useful to me”. Google instead return(ed)s(?) millions or billions of results in response to your query, and we’ve become accustomed to finding what we want within the first 10 results back or, we tweak the search.

I don’t know if LLMs are really less accurate than a search engine from that standpoint. They “know” many things, but a lot of it needs to be verified. It might not be right on the first or 2nd pass. It might require tweaking your parameters to get better output. It has billions of parameters but regresses to some common mean.

If an LLM returned results back like a search engine instead of a conversation engine, I guess I mean it might return billions of results and probably most of them would be nonsense (but generally easily human-detectable) and you’d probably still get what you want within the first 10 results, or you’d tweak your parameters.

(Accordingly I don’t really see LLMs saving all that much practical time either since they can process data differently and parse requests differently but the need to verify their output means that this method still results in a lot of back and forth that we would have had before. It’s just different.)

(BTW this is exactly how Stable Diffusion and Midjourney work if you think of them as searching the latent space of the model and the prompt as the search query.)

edit: oh look, a troll appeared and immediately disappeared. nothing of value was lost.

What a fucking crazy quote in the face of the electoral college.

If you can’t be brought water when you’re in line to vote then you shouldn’t be able to get water at a moron rally for dumbfucks to vote later. (Sorry I dont know if that’s what they call it.)

And in 5 years they’ll all be wearing “Make Butt Fart Again” hats.

I want to pile on Joe Rogan here but like, can I really say differently for myself?

He’s not even correct by the “shovel bits at people” definition as the content that Spotify has that people care about does cost money to acquire. They paid Joe Rogan actual money (on the presumption that it was bits that would draw in enough people) for his content

Now if he was the CEO of YouTube he might have a point. But he’s so out of touch he doesn’t even realize he’s paying for things he’s paying for.

good to know that alito wasn’t part of a crazy partisan movement or anything

I hate that we have to re-explain the entire legal system because one man who obviously committed obvious crimes also constantly lies about how the legal system works and people eat it up.

This is good context. Do you have any idea how much time republicans controlled all 3 houses in the same time frame? (Not arguing with you, just wondering if anyone’s really had any control this century.)

In trump’s defense I’ve never seen him napping while he’s totally winning at golf.

Are you asking me why is paint the way it is? I don’t know, take it up with nature, but stop spreading misinformation.

Red/yellow/blue are the primary colors for paints (as distinct from dyes/pigments, that’s CMY(k) and as distinct from light, that’s RGB).

Imagine never seeing the color purple before (because it’s pretty rare in nature) and then seeing someone walking around in something that color for the first time. Mind blowing. Also, actual tyrian purple is beautiful, holy crap!
